The decree came after the Communist Party's relatively strong showing in the 1920 Constitutional Assembly election, after which the regime viewed them as the main threat to the system of government. The Obznana was not adopted by the parliament, nor signed by the King, as was usual; instead, it was authored by the Minister of the Interior Milorad Drašković and signed by government ministers including the prime minister Milenko Vesnić. Although the Obznana was not an official document and was never published in the official gazette, the proclamation was printed as a poster and pasted on the streets, marking the beginning of a widespread persecution of communists in Yugoslavia.
